Gun Control: The theory that a woman found dead in an alley, raped and strangled with her own pantyhose, is somehow morally superior to a woman explaining to police how her attacker got that fatal bullet wound.
Enough said.

Questions or challenges to these policies or their application should be directed to the editors

you’re not considering the attacker’s rights Marc. This is obvious to Europeans and the Liberal Democrats
Keep it nuanced and marketable, conservatives. You’ll make gains soon enough with this sort of punchy, considered and precise rhetoric.
See what I mean Marc?
Good pic — self explanatory and covers the other definition of gun control: hitting what you aim at. (Not just the nice tight grouping there, but the meta-targetting of the message.)
THe reason legal guns are fought against by democrats is because they are usually people who don’t own guns or have ever owned guns. They believe the police force is good enough to handle all of criminal problems. They also believe that it is dangerous to simply have the ability to shoot a gun. They fear that someone will lose their temper or something and start shooting.
A friend of mine, a liberal democrat, was robbed 3-4 times in his home. IF he had a gun the first time, I doubt they would have come back the next time.
Anyway, the mere statistic that most violent crimes are committed with illegal guns, shows a lot. In fact, violent crimes would be reduced if people knew others had more guns.
In fact, in a recent event, a bunch of gang bangers with guns took hostage of teenagers, and were about to rape one of the girls, when one teen had a gun in his backpack and shot them all saving the girl.
Remember, when seconds count, the police are only minutes away.
